Outreach |
|
Many school and college students give up their time for work experience. Ben arrived from Erindale and was keen to come to ANU after an astronomy talk in the College by Brad Tucker from Mount Stromlo. We could supply a bit of astronomy through the gravitational wave project; and Ben is seen next to the Michelson Interferometer. Just move the mirrors 4km apart and you have your own home made detector!
